Automate merging a lot of individual excel files

Posted on 13 May 2024 15:52:05 by Just2431 8

Hello,

I am new to power automate and I found a good solution online to my need. Unfortunately, the steps aren't clear to me. I pasted the steps below: 

  1. Create a new Excel file in your OneDrive. The file name "Combination.xlsx" is used in this sample.
  2. Create and save the two scripts from this sample.
  3. Create a folder in your OneDrive and add one or more workbooks with data to it. The folder name "output" is used in this sample.

My question is in regards to the step 2, what do I use to write those scripts and here do i save them? In the same folder with all my files or to the new folder where the files will be merged. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

    Hi @Just2431 

     

    So you need to run the script where the script is also already given

    So, more details about the Office Script you can refer the documentation link which was shared by @ScottShearer

    Hi @Just2431 

     

    It's better if you keep the source link so that we can also understand what script you are talking about
